A virtual table-top realm opens!

The Witcher Adventure Game, the digital installment of the Fantasy Flight board game set in the dark fantasy realm of The Witcher, is available 10% off for the first week on GOG.com! If you were taking part in the beta-test program for this title, you get a special (non-stackable) 40% off discount, valid until December 27.

The Witcher Adventure Game takes players on a journey across the world of the Witcher as they assume the roles of four distinct characters known from the books and video games: Geralt of Rivia, monster slayer; Triss Merigold, cunning sorceress; Yarpen Zigrin, dwarven warrior; and Dandelion, roguish bard. Each character has unique skills and multiple ways of overcoming obstacles - the choice is yours: do you fight your way to victory, call on your charm or try your hand at diplomacy? It's the true spirit of board gaming brought straight to your computer screen. Set in the mature and brutal world of The Witcher the game features 4 unique heroes with different skills and approaches to problem solving. With clear, simple rules and intuitive mechanics, tons of quest cards allow players to tell a new tale every time they play. Look adventure in the eye in a world with which you'll fall in love!

Get The Witcher Adventure Game, for only $8.99 (or $5.99 if you were among the beta-testers!), 10% off until December 4, 10:59AM GMT, on GOG.com. The 40% off special discount for beta-test participants remains valid one month after the game's release until December 27.

SPECIAL CONTEST ANNOUNCEMENT!

In The Witcher Adventure Game, you race against your opponents to gather the most victory points and work together to complete quest objectives. We think it would be fun to find out whom you would like to see in the game (and reward you for it!) - which brings us to the object of this character creation contest.

Pick a character from the Witcher universe, describe their role in The Witcher Adventure Game along with a special ability they can use and 2 skills they can choose to master. Then, post your entry in the forum thread for this news post, making sure it’s only up to 100 words long.

In the game itself, you can take on the role of one of four characters from the Witcher universe - so make sure you don’t double up on the ones that already exist in-game!

-- Geralt of Rivia, the monster slayer - single-handedly eliminate your opponents with the help of powerful potions or witcher signs.

-- Triss Merigold, the cunning sorceress - you can protect yourself with magical skills and cast spells in battle on your opponents.

-- Yarpen Zirgin, the dwarven warrior - call on the help of your fellowship of dwarves to aid him in battle.

-- Dandelion, the rogue bard - become a cunning diplomat and talk your way out of conflicts, bribe your opponents with gold or threaten to call on more powerful friends.

We’ll choose three best entries that will be rewarded with a physical copy of The Witcher Adventure Game from GOG! (Disclaimer: we can't promise that the winning concepts will ever appear in-game.)

More details on the rules:
-- English-only entries, please!
-- The contest entry deadline is in one week - 11.59 PM GMT, December 4th
-- We’ll announce the winners two weeks after that (on December 17th) in the first post of this thread, with links to their submissions, and through a private message to the three winners
-- One post per person! Otherwise, none will be counted
-- Similarly, one prize per person, of course ;)

Have fun, and good luck!

drhoads: Why did I think I was supposed to get this with my Witcher 3 pre-order? Including a copy for a friend? Must have been dreaming... :-p
No, you got free access to the BETA for this title, with your Witcher 3 pre-order. And if you participated in the beta, they give you 40% off. If you didn't use the beta access, you're out of luck.

That's the spirit! ;) Well, you still get 10% off...
Shame the 40% off link doesn't work.

Were you in the multiplayer beta?

What link do you mean? They are all just leading to the game page, there is no special link for the discount.
But there is a bug showing the 40% discount for BETA-testers only when you add the game to your cart and go to checkout :-)
Please tell me GOG, is it your new strategy to hide regional pricing in the news post and hope that no one notices it?

The price is not $8.99 for many of your users and you should at least mention it .
LoL, nice contest :)

Ingsoc85: What the hell GOG?! why do I need to enter my account details in order to enter the game, even though I want to only play it offline? You specifically promised this galaxy thing would be optional :(

JudasIscariot: Hi Ingsoc and everyone else,

Just wanted to pop in and let you guys know that what you are describing is not what is actually supposed to be happening and is a bug.

We are currently working on getting this mistake fixed ASAP. Sorry about that!
Any known ETA for this patch? I'd like to know if it is a matter of hours (=it should be ready tomorrow), days (=it should be ready before nearest Sunday) or weeks/more?

I'm asking this because I would like to wait for this patch and download/start playing already patched game. :)

That depends on your point of view. If you look at what you have to pay right now, you're right. If you look at what you pay for this game in the long run (Fair Price package included), then you DO pay $8.99 (€8.99 - €1.80, which comes pretty darn close with today's exchange rates)...
The long run isn't important, because I don't get money back, but just a store credit. If I don't buy anything else within one year, the money is lost.

That's not money!

So the store credit is just for one year? I thought it's valid forever.
I didn't follow...
Will there be a Linux version (native) in the future?
I didn't get the 40% beta discount :)
But don't mind for a £6 title, that is £2 less?!?

I probably spend £6 per glass of Gluehwein tonight ;)
